Anybody have 17 inch or even 16 inch wheels on a 2008/09 superduty. I don't like the big wheel craze and like the small rim with lots of sidewall look. Some wheel manufactures say a 17 inch rim will clear the brakes and tie rod ends and other say it wont. Anybody running this setup that could tell me for sure?

i'm not personally running them but 17s will fit. mine came factory with 17s. as far as 16s no, i had a set off my 04 and would not clear (plus most 16 have a very negative offset which would make them stick WAY out which looks cool but...)

Depending upon your back spacing, a 17" will work, I don't recommend it simply because of how close it is to the calipers and how easy it would be for a small rock to get stuck and jam the wheel, damaging the caliper and wheel, I would at least do 18s, but to each his own
